Have you tried holding down the (Command, Option, Shift, Delete) keys
on startup? This key combination should work for firewire connected
drives. The c key is intended for starting up from the CD drive. Also
holding down the Option key on startup gives you the option of any
valid system on your computer or any drive that has a system on it
that your computer can boot from.

At the beginning of the school year we bought some Intel minis for
a lab.
I took one of our firewire drives, reformatted it and put the Intel
Tiger
OS 10.4.6 on it that came with the Minis. That enabled me to use
NetHelper/Restore to make a golden image of one of the minis. I've
run
SWupdate and updated these minis and want to make a new image,
however I
can't. I can't start up from the Firewire drive. I've tried
holding down
the c key, choosing the 10.4.6 system to start from within Syst
Prefs, but
it only boots to the mini which now has 10.4.8. Does anyone have a
clue
as to why this won't work? I thought it might be because the Firewire
system is older than the minis, so I tried to download and install the
SWupdate 10.4.8 onto the FW drive, but it won't let me choose that
as a
viable place to install the update. Any help would be appreciated.
